Some background first. Flex Radio uses a version of Virtual Audio Cable (VAC) called DAX with their current rigs. In the past, almost every WIN10 upgrade trashed the DAX installation which then needed to be laboriously manually repaired. Recently, that issue has been reported resolved.
Has anybody had any issues with WIN10 upgrades with general VAC installed, especially recently? I have heard of one case, but not recently. I know there are some other equivalent packages, but for operational reasons need to stick with VAC.

Hi Alan,
No problems here with latest Win10 upgrades, VAC and SDR Console.
Happy New Year,

Thanks to all who replied. Looks like there is no problem with VAC and at least the latest WIN10 upgrades.

I always have issues with Win10 updates but nothing affecting any of the Flex software since their upgrade that resolved the issue.

Hi Alan. I don't recall ever having any Win10 issues with SmartSDR or PowerSDR using DAX except recently when I installed the update for the v3.x s/w that I tried to install here last May and had to go back to v2.xx because of SmartSDR crashes. I did notice that when I installed the v3.x update I had to redo the DAX configuration, no big deal. I did take a Win10 update a few days ago and there were no issues with DAX afterwards...
